Excellent work, Marko. It does everything efficiently and effectively.

I’ve sent you an email with more detailed comments, but you should provide a link somewhere prominent (perhaps the “About” text) direct to this blog post so users can provide quick feedback.

Marko, it is an amazing tool I was looking for several months now. Thanks!

nicolas, you’re right! The interface does need more polishing. If I’d take your opinion offending, I wouldn’t develop such thing in the first place... Any remark is very welcome, so thanks for yours. Jason & Cody, you guys are making me blush.

Ok, your official. Web rock star popularity is in your future. I’m blown away, my friend. Well done, and very useful.

great!
maybee you should finetune the color-picker. First probabely nobody will find it (cause usually nodody reads the description of the tool first). Then the timeout seems to kick in only when i mouseout from the color field (that require that i roll in in the firstplace) then the timeout should be cleared when i mouseover again. Additionaly it took me some time to find that after the “regular” there are many more examples like “bold” ect.
- No critisism just some thoughts of somebody who tries this wonderfull app for the first time.

Every time someone comes out with a great web app, I always have to say that it is exactly what I needed…and never knew it. Well I always knew I needed this one. I used to test a site on every browser whenever I made a css font change. Not anymore. Thanks Marko! Great Work!

David, defining text size in ems, could produce unexpected results in different browsers (you know who I’m talking about here). This way, there’s a solid measure, which can be later re-adjusted for the particular project. However, it’s not the final decision, I just want to make sure it’s reliable. Heck, I might even provide an option to choose between those two. Matt, here you go – tracking down to -10px. yurivish, that’s very interesting. I might give it a try.

Awesome work, thanks a bunch. Very useful. :0

The one thing I don’t quite like though is the color picker… Maybe you could give Colourmod a shot?

Man, this is a great tool that I was looking for for a very long time. You did a wonderful job.

By: Matt Dempsey

Matt Dempsey — Sun, 18 Sep 2005 14:12:52 +0000

Great app, I will be using this a lot! One thing, I want the tracking to go into minus numbers, so I can have:

letter-spacing: -2px;

In my code. I doubt this will be done but it’s worth asking for, great job!

Great work Marko! This will be very handy indeed. Thanks!

Nice thing, and very useful. One thing I would like to do is define text size in .em as well, since pixels are rarely used in real world projects. It would also be nice (but way complicated) to get a screenshot from each browser with the defined settings.
